    Hello All,

    Would a 20g sump / fuge work well for a 50g breeder DT?

    I have a spare 20g tall...I wish it was a 20g long.

    any thoughts?

    The other challenge is that I would need to use my current Aqua C Remora HOB in it as the skimmer. I really want to get some of the tank clutter down below.

    your thoughts and comments are appreciated :)

    That would work fine, agree totally with getting rid of DT clutter.

    You can certainly make it work.... footprint is always the issue I am finding with sumps... the long would've helped, but hey.... use what you've got. The price is right.
